Chapter 43
The Interrogation
Nina walked right into the general’s meeting, and saw the people yelling and fighting with each others. They just opened the door, but no one seemed to notice. The ghosts followed her and stepped right in and saw the big portrait of Veron. They were standing in the middle of the frenzy rage and rampage of Veron’s officers.
“Let’s dance, shall we?” said Nina. She took out the grenade, pulled the pin out and threw it to the portrait. And then the ghosts blazed their gun and open fired. The grenade exploded, and there were gunshots heard in the room and people collapsed down on the floor.
The soldiers guarding the generals just stood there not knowing what to do, as people just started to drop dead before them. Only those people on the lists, the fifteen men, were left. They were hiding under the desk, completely shocked, trembling badly.
Nina deactivated the cloaking device, looking at the shocked face of the officers and gestured her ghosts to take them into custody. The ghosts hit them in the head, forced them to put on the cloaking devices and carried them to outside. Many employees were evacuated while hearing a gunshot, mixed in the crowd Nina reactivated the device and got out of the building.
The ghosts from the second division sniped around the building, shooting at the soldiers who were attempted to get in. The soldiers became befuddled and try to stop the panicking crowds to examine them. But the ghosts slipped through them as they were invisible.
“Acquired the subject, I repeat, we acquired the subject,” said Nina, using walky-talky to contact the second division. “We are getting out, over!” The second division stopped firing and escaped through the woods.
Nina’s ghosts opened the manhole and jumped down, splashing the puddle. They turned on the flashlight and deactivated the cloaking device.
“Nice work guys,” said Nina, smiling, and started to move quickly through the sewage. The rats were running away from them, the ghosts ran into the sewage. At the designated location, the ghosts from second division were waiting in the vans. Nina’s division got into the vans and drove away.
Nina and the ghosts went back to the temporary shelter and dragged and tied them up in the chairs. Some of them already woke up, afraid; most of them were still knocked out. Nina, looking at one of them bleeding from a large scar on his forehead, turned to Dyatt.
“Did you do this one?” said Nina.
“Yes, admiral,” said Dyatt, chuckling.
“Hope he doesn’t have a concussion,” shrugged Nina. The other ghosts brought the water in the basket, and poured it on the officers’ face. The one closest to Nina gasped and woke up, shook off water from his head. With his piggy eyes blinking, he recognized Nina and got angry.
“Nina Polchinski,” he growled. “The Emperor will skin you alive, Polchinski!”
Alerted by his voice, other officers suddenly got courage and started yelling at Nina.
“You bitch! Don’t you know our blood is royal and have right to make you a slave?” said the other officer.
Nina raised the pistol and put it on his head and just pulled a trigger. The loud bang was heard, the man’s brain spattered on the wall. The officers shouted with anger and bellowed with curses. Nina, frowning, shot another who was screaming at her. The man’s face just exploded and he fell on the floor and everyone went silenced.
“It’s your choice if you want to live. So, you, tell me, where is the place Veron is hiding?” said Nina, coldly, cocking her pistol, aiming at the officer next to her. But he didn’t answer so she pulled the trigger. There were few more shots heard from the room. Dyatt, who was watching this, seemed to be concerned that Nina might kill all the prisoners, but as she shot a five of them, the next one muttered, trembling badly.
“I… it’s…” muttered him.
Nina cocked the pistol again and aimed at his head.
“Please please don’t shoot! He is inside the bunker in the Moleon region! Our protocol says he should command in case of the coup,” shouted the man, shaking his head.
Nina seemed to be satisfied, removed the pistol away. “Our next location is set, agent Dyatt, I’ll talk to Captain Stein about this. He is going attack Veron’s tank division,” said Nina.
“Yes admiral, what should we do with them?” said Dyatt.
“Lock them in the cell, give them something to eat,” said Nina, and got out the door. Nina put her pistol back in her holster and walked up to the receiving station. They saluted at her as she walked in.
“Contact Stein for me,” said Nina.
“Right away, admiral,” said one of the soldiers. One of them brought one black coffee to Nina. Nina glimpsed at it but didn’t drink it. He handed the receiver to her.
“Captain, how it is up there?” asked Nina.
“They started squirreling around, admiral,” said Stein from the phone.
“Veron is in the bunker right below Moleon headquarter, he will be moving tanks to our base soon. Attack from the side, Captain, Sarah will blow the bridge,” said Nina.
“Ok admiral, we will crush them,” exclaimed Stein.
“Good luck Captain,” said Nina.
She glimpsed at the soldier and the soldier changed the frequency and Sarah’s voice came out from the machine.
“Hey whore,” said Nina to Sarah.
“Hi corpse,” said Sarah from the walky-talky.
“You mayith now do the blowjob, over,” said Nina.
“You’ve got it gumdrop, blowith away, over,” said Sarah, and she started shouting to Paul. “Hey, dumbass! We are moving out! Get off the bridge!”
“Get off the bridge!” said Paul, parroting, who was sitting next to Sarah.
“By the way, how can you make me a paratrooper? I’ll flip you off from the sky, over” said Sarah to Nina.
“Love you too, out” said Nina and got disconnected.
